I saw this in other 2 computers. It happen when the system was closed unexpectly (i.e: a power shortage). Both computer was just installed and no updates from Fedora website at all. The kernel was kernel-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl Note I don't tested it with the new kernel: kernel-2.4.22-1.2129.nptl The quick solution we found was reinstall the computer because nothing was on there, but I expect never have this error on a computer with some data.
I am seeing this on a: Dell Poweredge 1750 Dual P4 I am using kernel-smp-2.4.22-1.2040.nptl. The behavior is intermittent in that it works sometimes and doesnt other times. It seems that the single proc kernel works fine.
I had this problem with the single user-core when the system had to be restarted when it run into a freeze due to driver-problem for my Ati graphical adapter. Re-installing led to a repeating sequence of events. Bypass: After I installed the correct drivers I restarted the system in runlevel 2 to avoid starting X and let the system finish the swap- file attachments etc. Then the problem disappeared.
Closing bugs on older, no longer supported, releases. Apologies for any lack of response. Please reopen if this persists on current releases such as Fedora Core 3.
